Designs that transform broadcasting into a work of art

When in use, the small tea light candle nestled in the burner creates a warm ambiance with the flickering flame. Some burners conceal the candle's position, while others reveal it, adding that touch of sweetness to the fragrance that one expects from a candle.

  • Vase with pink bow : A feminine elegance that brings infinite softness to intimate spaces.
  • White angel wing : This soothing symbol of protection is perfect for a bedroom or a corner dedicated to relaxation.
  • Dynamic butterfly : It instills lightness and movement, harmonizing perfectly with modern and colorful interiors.
  • Black and white moon : Its astral and current contrast blends wonderfully with clean and contemporary decor.

Even when not in use, these burners remain stunning decorative pieces that captivate with their elegant lines. Their detailed, finely sculpted motifs make them true centerpieces for your home.

High-quality, durable materials for a premium scented wax

The ceramic is perfectly resistant to the prolonged heating of the tealight candle . Each scented wax melt rests in a hollow dish, designed to prevent any overflow when the wax melts.

High-quality finishes, such as floral reliefs or meticulous enameling, highlight the unique character of each creation. Other fine materials, such as glass or natural stone, are also perfectly suited to the vegetable wax used in your wax melts .

Dual-compartment architecture: security and optimal diffusion

The ingenious design isolates the tea light candle from the upper compartment that holds your favorite fragrance . This arrangement ensures optimal diffusion by allowing the wax melt to melt slowly and safely.
A handcrafted soy wax tealight from Ely's Candle lasts approximately 4 hours. This adds an obvious safety element to this accessory. Even when not in use, your burner will automatically shut off once the candle has burned out. It is still recommended to place the burner away from drafts, on a flat surface, and out of reach of children and pets.

How to use your original wax melt burner without burning the fragrance?

Proper use prolongs the life of your wax melt while creating a warm and enveloping fragrance. Following a precise protocol ensures maximum safety and preserves the integrity of the aromatic notes.

Ignition protocol for a smooth and even melting of the fondant

Begin by placing a lit tea light candle in the lower compartment and wait two minutes for the ceramic to gently warm up . This preheating step prevents any thermal shock before adding your wax melt to the dish.

  • Preheating : Let the burner heat up for a few moments before adding the artisanal fondant for gradual melting.
  • Optimal quantity : Use at least one wax melt (12g) or one spoonful for even diffusion, without risk of overflow. Adjust the quantity according to the size of your room and the desired intensity.

Thanks to its two-level design, melting is quick without ever burning the fondant , because the heat is gentle and controlled. The flame remains insulated from the scented wax , which is kept at an ideal temperature of about forty-two degrees.

Optimal duration and essential safety precautions to follow

Limit each session to a maximum of three hours to preserve your tealight candle and the quality of your handmade wax melt. This duration is generally sufficient to pleasantly fill an average-sized room with a long-lasting fragrance .

Never leave your burner unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets. After use, allow the appliance to cool for about thirty minutes to avoid any contact with hot wax .

Cleaning techniques to preserve burners

To remove any solidified wax melt residue, light your tea light candle and place it under the compartment. Wait a few seconds for the bottom of the melt to begin to melt. You can then easily remove the melt from the dish and discard it. Extinguish the tea light candle and clean any remaining wax with a paper towel.
It is not recommended to clean the burner with an abrasive sponge to avoid scratching the ceramic.

Strategic placement and replacement of the pebbles for maximum diffusion

For optimal diffusion, place your burner in a small, enclosed room, such as a bedroom or office. The fragrance diffuses much better in a confined space, preserving its intensity and longevity.

Change the wax melts regularly once they've melted, as a wax melt loses its fragrance intensity after approximately 10 hours of cumulative use ( for a single olive wax melt ). Mixing an old, weakened wax melt with a new one would create an imbalance, to the detriment of the top notes.

This wax melt burner combines romantic aesthetics with optimal functionality, perfect for enhancing your home décor. Discover how to pair these beautifully shaped burners with scented wax melts to create truly memorable atmospheres.

Frequently asked questions about scented wax melts and handcrafted oil burners

Questions often concern the lifespan of wax melts or the type of wax to use. Our detailed answers below clarify each technical point for safe diffusion and optimal personalization.

How long does an Ely's Candle handmade wax melt last?

An Ely's Candle handcrafted wax melt typically offers between eight and twelve hours of continuous use, depending on the thickness of the wax. By placing three small wax melts in your burner's dish , you'll enjoy a combined fragrance diffusion of approximately thirty hours.

Pebble type Average duration Total distribution
Single 10g pebble 8-10 hours Room of 15-20 m²
Three 10g pebbles 24-30 cumulative hours Weekly use over 1 month
3-hour sessions per day 8-12 weeks Effective continuous fragrance

Moderate daily use allows you to pleasantly scent your home for several weeks, in a way that is both economical and sustainable. This maximizes the fragrance potential of each natural wax melt without any waste.

Which wax should I choose and can I use regular perfume?

The best choice remains natural, non-GMO vegetable wax, as used by Ely's Candle. Olive wax is considered a "premium" wax with excellent fragrance diffusion and a generally longer burn time than soy or rapeseed wax.

  • Natural vegetable wax : Olive wax melts gently, which makes it
    perfectly compatible with even the most delicate fragrances.
  • No cosmetic perfume : Never add classic perfume containing alcohol, as this flammable liquid becomes dangerous in the presence of a flame.
  • Specific wax melts : It is essential to use only a wax melt specifically designed for the heat of a tea light candle.
  • Essential oils prohibited : Pure essential oils can ignite and produce toxic fumes when heated directly. Never put essential oils in the cup of your burner.

Our scented wax melts use exclusively CMR-free fragrances from Grasse, designed for high-temperature diffusion . This optimal dosage provides a pleasant, yet not overpowering, fragrance, creating a comfortable and fragrant atmosphere throughout the room.

Customization and bulk orders of handcrafted fondant.

Bulk orders for professionals allow for complete customization, from the shape of the wax melt to the colors and fragrance chosen from a wide selection. This artisanal option allows you to create unique corporate gifts, offering a memorable and distinctive olfactory experience with your chosen scent.
